Tim and Myles Thompson are an award winning Americana-jazz-folk duo that uses acoustic guitar, violin, mandolin and vocals to entertain music lovers of all ages.
The father-son act presents high-energy instrumental and vocal duets of improvised originals and classics reminiscent of legendary artists like Chet Atkins, Joe Venuti, Chick Corea and Jackson Browne. Though influenced by the masters their down to earth musical style is all their own - a one-of-a-kind combination of improvisational jazz, traditional folk, singer songwriter, country, rock and world music.
International Fingerstyle Guitar Champion Tim Thompson digs deep into his northern Minnesota musical roots, layering intricate melodies, chords and textures with his acoustic and electric guitars. Myles answers or takes the lead with soaring and drifting echoes on the violin.
This father-son, give-and-take approach is fun-filled, yet humble, leaving audiences inspired with a sense of family and friends.
